AB341: Mandatory Commercial Recycling Program

Effective July 1, 2012, AB 341, the State of California’s Mandatory Commercial Recycling & Organics Program, requires multi-family complexes with 5 units or more to recycle. If your complex fits into this parameter and you currently do not have recycling, GreenTeam of San Jose will provide recycling containers and service for no additional charge. Please contact Customer Service at 408-282-4400 or at customerservice@greenteam.com to participate in the recycling program.
